Wheat Price – A Farmer’s Reality

You grew wheat this year because it was the safe bet. Until the price dropped again. €0.27/kg and half of it’s gone in drying, haulage, and handling. It’s not the crop — it’s the system.

You’ve put time into getting the grain right — timing sprays, managing lodging, trying to keep protein balanced — but the reward never matches the grind. And you’re tired of being told to “scale up” when you can’t even afford a new set of tyres.

Plant Something That Pays

Hemp. It doesn’t replace your rotation. It enhances it. One field. One season. A different result. And a buyer at the end — not just hope at the weighbridge.

Barley Price – Real Returns vs. Smart Shifts

Barley prices in Ireland hover around €0.27/kg—solid, but vulnerable to weather, global demand, and export logistics.

Fertiliser costs, unpredictable rain, and long waits for payment mean many farmers are breaking even—or worse.

Hemp offers a different play. A 90–120 day crop, it slots into rotations easily and earns more per acre with less input.

Oats Price – Resilience & Rotations

Oats have long been Ireland’s fallback: resilient, good for soils, and valuable for local mills. But prices move slowly, and the profit per acre often lags behind wheat and barley.

Weather risk, input costs, and market swings make oats a stable but unspectacular choice. Many growers use oats to keep rotations healthy, manage weeds, or supply niche food markets. Hemp fits beside oats in that same philosophy: quick, adaptable, and a fresh margin stream when you need it most.
